NOVEMBER TOPIC: H.H. HOLMES & SOME MINIS

Check out Buzz Killers every Sunday for new episodes! A proud part of the Podmoth Media Network. 

In epsiode fifty five we discuss the beginnings of "America's first serial killer," H.H. Holmes. Throughout his youth, H.H. Holmes showed a tendency towards sociopathic tendencies and manipulation. His criminal career began with fraudulent insurance claims and other petty crimes that continued through his college career. The construction of his infamous "Murder Castle" began in 1887, but are the rumors about the castle true?
